LOS ANGELES — Mitch Singer, president of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE), the cross-industry consortium behind UltraViolet, said that being innovative and responsive to changing consumer trends sound great, until you try it.

Making the digital experience match the value of the physical is a key challenge, said the former Sony executive, who said his new role allows him to take a wider view from every studio perspective. Digital collections need to be more easily shared “if we are going to re-create that ability to collect,” he said.
“Maybe UltraViolet ultimately becomes that platform,” Singer said.

Consumer interest in cloud-based storage of movies continues to rise, with more than 19 million registered UltraViolet accounts — up 2 million from 17 million accounts at the end of April, a senior executive with the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) told an industry group.

Movie lovers across the nation can now legally convert their existing DVD and Blu-ray collections into a digital entertainment library in the cloud, following the launch of Disc-2-Digital by EzyFlix.tv – the first retailer outside of the US to officially offer the innovative service.
